your hair is kind of amazing both ways (probs because you have SO MUCH of it, wow) but the super curls are so 3-D that they block off half your face. they require their own plane of existence. normally i err on the side of whichever is less work, but i gotta agree with everyone, the rapunzel hair is gorgeous. idk. does it require extra upkeep after you've relaxed it, or does it pave its own path to greatness after that??
